you will likely not need to roll/cut your fenders with that setup. Should look pretty clean once you are done

My buddy is running my 350z s techs with Sf challenges +23 and 275's in the rear and he rubs on bumps. He needs to roll his fender for sure.

OP, you shouldn't have any problems... but jlin615 had OEM 19s, 20mm/25mm spacers, & z h-techs, and he said he rubbed a tiny bit in the back when he was doing some aggressive driving... but that may have been with a full tank of gas, he said.

just letting you know.
can't wait to see your ride after you put in all that stuff, though!

so, i got it done yesterday and i really really like the stance now!

the spacers made such a huge change, i think my tires are as close to flush as you can get, im very happy

I did however have to cut the fenders, after install i only had about a 1-1.5" gap (before they settle) so i felt that while i was at it i might as well do it.

Im at work right now so i cant post pics but will be posting some on sunday

Awesome..i just installed the spacers a couple days ago and getting 350z stechs in a couple of days. Did you install the springs yourself?? if not how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking.

im thinkin bout the 20mm up front and 25 mm spacers in back.
will have to go out to ucf n see how they look on urs.
so the 350z s-techs didnt stiffen u up a bit?
i hate my g s-techs but i got em for $50 so I cant complain.
